On the theory of nonlinear optics and devices
On the theory of nonlinear optics and devices
This thesis is concerned with some aspects of the theory of parametric interactions which have not been fully considered in the literature. The existing theory of nonlinear interactions in nonabsorbing, non-gyrotropic, anisotropic crystals has been generalised so that the basic theory of interactions in absorbing and gyrotropic crystals is now understood. Full allowance has been made for the fact that the interacting waves are elliptically polarized and not linearly polarized as they are in the nonabsorbing case. When an experiment has been performed on an absorbing or gyrotropic crystal to measure the nonlinear coefficients this theory must be used to obtain the nonlinear coefficient from the experimental results. The equations governing the amplitudes of the interacting waves is found to be of the same form as for nonabsorbing non- gyrotropic crystals.

Abstract
This thesis is concerned with some aspects of the theory of parametric interactions which have not been fully considered in the literature. The existing theory of nonlinear interactions in nonabsorbing, non-gyrotropic, anisotropic crystals has been generalised so that the basic theory of interactions in absorbing and gyrotropic crystals is now understood. Full allowance has been made for the fact that the interacting waves are elliptically polarized and not linearly polarized as they are in the nonabsorbing case. When an experiment has been performed on an absorbing or gyrotropic crystal to measure the nonlinear coefficients this theory must be used to obtain the nonlinear coefficient from the experimental results. The equations governing the amplitudes of the interacting waves is found to be of the same form as for nonabsorbing non- gyrotropic crystals.
